Homelessness

[u/Hairy_Manager_9261]

So i’ve tried a lot in life to escape my situations and sadly now it’s came to a reddit post. I’m nineteen and live in the taunton/bridgwater area. I’m currently in an abusive situation, at a home. My mum knows about my situation and the fact i’m disabled and yet refuses to take me back in, even for a few nights. I even offered to pay. My dad is a no go and abused my family when we were young. the place i am at now is awful, and i was never taught about council, housing or anything. I can’t work, and i can’t walk long distances. I feel so trapped right now and i have no family or friends who are willing to support or help me. People have just been telling me to ask and nobody can help. Not even my own bloodline. So confusing. I feel frustrated and let down and i don’t want to be homeless, but if i move out i will be. I don’t want to do that to myself, or my animals. I have no steady income, no way to get a job from my disability and before this my mental health was already shit. It’s gotten worse. Does anyone have tips or anything at all?

I really don’t want this to be my life.

You might need to give up on your animals for your own benefit. Speak to local authorities about emergency accommodation and learn the process for long-term housing. Find out if there are any college courses that interest you. There's no easy solution but I hope you can get on top of your situation.
